Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies

Author Notes:I love the hazelnutty, chocolatey goodness of Nutella! With sugar being the first ingredient though, it is not the healthiest stuff on earth. In the spirit of decadent Nutella, I created these Chocolate Hazelnut cookies. Using hazelnut meal as one of the main ingredients, these cookies are not only gluten free, but vegan as well. The hazelnut butter and grapeseed oil make these little gems so rich and delicious that they melt right in your mouth! I also love these cookies because I use one bowl, and they take minutes to mix up! Please enjoy! - BeamingwithHealth —BeamingwithHealth

Food52 Review: If you like Nutella (and who doesn't?), this is it in gluten-free cookie form. This recipe, which is also vegan, makes 9 large cookies chock-full of rich hazelnut, chocolate and coconut flavor. If you can't find hazelnut meal, make your own by pulsing hazelnuts in a food processor with some sugar to keep them from clumping. - broccolirose —broccolirose
